What?
What is the source of your information?

Apparently police helicopter pilots can't tell the difference between
flashing blue lights on vehicles in the road and strings of flashing
blue lights fixed to houses. There was a news item about it the other
day. I 'thought' they were 'calling' for domestic ones to be banned,
don't remember that it said they had been banned.

I'd be quite happy for all flashing lights to be banned. Slower, more
gentle changes are fine - but I detest the ON/OFF flashing lights.
